SXT, MIN, and LEV evaluations are based on existing CLSI M100 breakpoints for S. maltophilia. CAZ, LEV, CIP, and TGC evaluations indicated by an asterisk (*) are based on disk-to-MIC correlates and zone diameter breakpoints generated by dBETS software using either M100 S. maltophilia MIC breakpoints, CLSI P. aeruginosa MIC breakpoints, or EUCAST PK/PD breakpoints as indicated. Categorical agreement (CA), very major errors (VMEs), major errors (MEs), and minor errors (MIs) calculated. Errors rates for antimicrobials with no intermediate MIC category parsed as follows: ≥R + 1, MIC greater than or equal to 1 doubling dilution of the resistant breakpoint; R + S, MIC at susceptible or resistant breakpoint; and ≤S − 1, MIC less than or equal to 1 doubling dilution of the susceptible breakpoint. Errors rates for antimicrobials with intermediate MIC category parsed as follows: ≥I + 2, MIC greater than or equal to 2 doubling dilutions of the intermediate breakpoint; I ± 1, MIC plus or minus 1 doubling dilution of the intermediate breakpoint; and ≤I − 2, MIC less than or equal to 2 doubling dilutions of the intermediate breakpoint.
